Four Fingers Pointing Back

I remember retorting, as a kid, "When you point your finger, you have four fingers pointing back at yourself!!!"   There's a scripture that says the same thing in a much wiser way:  "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." (I John 1:8)  Why is it so hard for us to see our own faults??

Marriage is a sanctifying, purifying process.  If we want it to be successful, we have to stop blaming the person whom our index finger is singling out and be willing to look where our other four fingers are pointing.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.  [Psalm 51:17]
